S.L. 545.24 Art. 8Renewal of authorisations.

(1) The holders of an authorisation issued under these regulations, shall, subject to compliance with authorisation conditions, have their authorisation automatically renewed.

(2) An authorised provider shall, every three years reckoned from the 1st day of January of the year in which their authorisation is granted, pay an authorisation fee of thirty-five euro (€35) in case of being the holder of an authorisation A and seventy-euro (€70) in case of being the holder of an authorisation B.

(3) If any authorisation fee payable in accordance with sub-regulation (2) is not paid within thirty (30) days, an additional fee of twelve euro (€12) shall also be due to the Regulator as a late payment fee in addition to the fee due.

(4) If the authorisation fee remains unpaid and any documentation required for renewal is not submitted, the Regulator shall inform the authorised provider by registered mail about the failure to pay the said fee and, or to provide the necessary documents. The authorisation shall be revoked if the authorisation fee remains unpaid and, or the required documents are not submitted after thirty (30) days from the date on which the communication has been sent by registered mail. Any person who has had the authorisation revoked and wants to be re-issued with an authorisation shall be required to submit an application for such purpose and to be recommended following an interview before the technical committee. In considering any such application, the Regulator may take into account the previous failure of the applicant to pay the authorisation fee and, or to submit the required renewal documents and of any explanation regarding that failure which the applicant may submit to the Regulator: Provided that it shall be the duty of the authorised provider to make available to the Regulator the correct contact details or to accept or collect the registered mail. Failure to provide the said correct contact details or to accept or to collect the registered mail shall exonerate the Regulator from contacting the said authorised provider by registered mail. In such cases, the Regulator shall publish on its website a notice directed to the authorised provider instead of using registered mail. (5) Repealed by Legal Notice 283 of 2024.

(6) The Regulator may publish on its website a notice containing the names and details of authorised providers whose authorisation has been revoked.
